Australia’s hotels fail their customers

In Darwin it was hot,

humid and different

Tropical, a Thai place did provide

Cold water in a pretty pinkish bottle

Free of charge

it so was worth the ride!

A veggie Laksa

and a soulful interlude

No hotel offerred me

that treat, alas

It was only blissful eateries

That gave me what I needed

The hotels charged

and their water was crass

Expecting us to sup

Out of the bathroom

All over OZ on them you

can’t rely

I went to see the  Crocodile shop

so advertised

“Come and see the prehistoric souls”

Thrash about in water

Till killed for each body part

No way could I give support

Those roles just broke my heart

Letting the iced water

trickle slowly down my throat

Helped me get back to the hotel

it got on my goat

To think that I spent hundreds

of dollars for a bed

and would have to drink

from the Bathroom

or pay more which, well led

me down to the reception

on the final day

I got stuck on the low seats

But an angel there did say

Can I help you and he did

with a colleague raised me and

turned out to be a nurse

called Sid

And that made me feel grand

he helped me swiftly on that day

and so I then went on my way.
